Now that Jiang Junchang was so popular and humiliated right under his nose, he, Jia Siyan, was ashamed to face others.

Several people walked quickly towards the accounting room, and soon arrived at the scene.

"It's you who want to check the old man's research funding? I heard that you want to take back this month's funding?"

As soon as he entered the door, Jia Siyan questioned Chen Daomin.

Preconceived, he naturally didn't have a good impression of Chen Daomin.

"Yes, you are the principal of Lingnan University?"

Chen Daomin looked at the calm old man in front of him and asked.

"Old man Jia Siyan."

Jia Siyan said.

"Jia Siyan? It's such a familiar name, I can't remember it, maybe it's similar to an old friend's name."

Chen Daomin thought in his heart.

"Well, I found out that there is a problem with your accounts, and now I seriously suspect that you are involved in corrupt government funds."

Chen Daomin said, holding up the ledger in his hand.

"Oh? There is a problem with the accounts? Where is the problem?"

Jia Siyan said flatly, noncommittal to Chen Daomin's words.

"Here, one of your expenditures is to study steam engines, and you have spent more than 3 taels of silver every month for several months. What's the explanation?"

Chen Daomin pointed to one of them.

"Don't you know that the Jingling Railway is a cooperation between Lingnan Prefecture and the imperial court? Without this steam engine, the railway would have no value in existence.

The money budget required for the research and development of the steam engine has already been written in the shareholding book, and the 3 taels per month is well-founded.

It was also approved by the court. "

Jia Siyan looked at Chen Daomin like an idiot.

"Ahem, I know of course, what about this? What is this research on the labor-saving model of a pulley device? Why do you have to invest so much money? It actually cost a total of 5000 taels of silver."

"This is a research project of the Institute of Physics, and the pulley block developed played a very important role in the later stage of the old city renovation.

In transporting and dismantling the old city bricks, twice the manpower was saved, the construction period was doubled, and the money saved for the government reached 15 taels.

You should be able to find these from the books of the old city renovation. "

Jia Siyan said indifferently, and looked at Chen Daomin with the eyes of a bumpkin again.

Jia Siyan solved the two problems in a row, which made him a little ashamed, and Chen Daomin couldn't help it.

"What about this? How do you explain this to the officer?

What's the purpose of An Wang's business tax decree to implement feasibility studies on a pilot basis in other state capitals?

Why spend 1 taels of silver to do such a meaningless and absurd thing! "

Chen Daomin seemed to have found a point where he could grasp the other party's handle, and hurriedly asked loudly.

"What? You actually said that the old man's research topic is absurd!

Is the imperial court no longer available?

You actually sent an ignorant waste like you to be the magistrate in Lingnan! "

Hearing that Chen Daomin dared to say that his research was meaningless, Jia Siyan immediately became angry.

Originally, there was a fire in his heart, but now it was directly ignited by Chen Daomin's words.

"Bold, you actually insulted me with words! This official decree of King An has been abolished by me a long time ago, and you still use it for research. It's really a joke!"

Chen Daomin said angrily.

"What! King An's decree was abolished by you? This old man beat you to death!"

Hearing that the man in front of him actually abolished King An's decree in Lingnan, Jia Siyan was in a hurry, stretched out his hand and slapped Chen Daomin's face.

Jia Siyan's feeling at this time was like a senior from a certain agricultural college in a later university who studied the peanuts he cultivated and was about to write a graduation thesis defense, but the peanuts were uprooted by others.

The guard next to him was watching and didn't stop him.

It seems that everything that happened in front of them has nothing to do with them, and they will no longer obey Chen Daomin's advice before.

There were even smiles on the corners of their mouths, watching everything that happened in front of them as if they were watching a play.

That's right, these servants are all Cao Youde's people, and they are all people who have their hearts on Li Su.

After Chen Daomin fired the former servants, Cao Youde brought them over.

Later, whether these officers were collecting taxes or implementing other Chen Daomin's government orders, they would deliberately emphasize to the common people and merchants that these orders were all issued by the prefect, just to create hatred for Chen Daomin.

When he came to Lingnan University this time, Cao Youde deliberately did not come, also to let Chen Daomin jump into the pit by himself.

A crisp sound resounded throughout the room.

Chen Daomin covered his face in disbelief, who is he, where is he, and what happened?

When he reacted, he was about to burst into tears, pointed at Jia Siyan and said angrily:

"You dare to beat the imperial court official, this official will punish you, this official will kill you!

Someone, take him down for me and take him back to the prison! "

However, the guard next to him remained motionless, standing beside him with a calm expression on his face.

"Hmph, take this old man back to the prison? The last time this old man was imprisoned was when the late emperor was still here.

The old man was imprisoned in the sky prison because he killed 17 officials below the fourth rank of the imperial court without purpose.

Now you, a little fourth-rank magistrate, dare to let the old man go to jail? "

Jia Siyan shouted sharply. At this moment, an invisible coercion erupted from him, and Chen Daomin, who was so shocked, did not dare to look at him.

"The execution of 17 court officials, Taihe's 15-year capital corruption case!

you!Who are you!You are Jia Siyan!Left Prime Minister Jia Siyan! "

When Chen Daomin heard Jia Siyan say that he had killed 17 court officials, he immediately thought of the huge corruption case in the capital when the first emperor was in power.

The chief official investigating the case is Jia Siyan, the current prime minister of the dynasty.

Chen Daomin looked at the old man in front of him in horror as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"How could it be, how could you appear in Lingnan Mansion, and how could you be the principal of Lingnan University! Didn't you go to Yunyou!"

Chen Daomin spoke incoherently, his eyes were dull, and he was talking to himself.

In Dagan, as long as he is an official in the court, no one dares not to be in awe of such a Qiandi, and he will respectfully call him the great god of the teacher.

And this great god was standing in front of him at this moment, and he kindly gave him a big mouth just now.

In order to express my gratitude, just now I warmly invited the left minister of the court, Daqian Emperor Shi, to sit in the prison.

This bullshit is enough to brag about for a lifetime, but my life may be a little short.

Chapter 60

Chen Daomin didn't know when he left Lingnan University.

All he knew was that his legs were too weak to walk, so the guards brought him back to the magistrate's yamen.

Recalling what Jia Siyan said to him at that time, "The old man will re-enter the court's sight because of you as a waste", he felt cold all over, waiting for the doomsday judgment.

Prince An's Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, all the people sitting here are Li Su's confidantes, and they are also the chief officials of various departments in Lingnan Mansion.

"Your Highness, the subject is really convinced, this kind of operation is really amazing.

Without any effort, even if you didn't show up, Chen Daomin is already doomed to be unable to stand up. "

Cao Youde flattered and admired Li Su from the bottom of his heart.

This series of operations was really coquettish to the extreme, allowing him to open the door to a new world.

It turns out that politics can still be played like this.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's nothing more than taking advantage of the trend, taking advantage of Chen Daomin's character flaws and the situation in Lingnan Mansion, adding some luck, and then making the best use of the situation."

Li Su waved his hands modestly.

"What? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Qi Yong was a little confused at the side.

"Big Qi, you're right if you don't understand. If you can understand, then Chen Daomin won't fall for it."

Liu Lin echoed from the side.

He came back after Chen Daomin took office, and has never personally participated in this matter, but he can see the details more clearly as a bystander.

"Old Liu, please tell me. I only know that His Highness asked me to show discord with Lao Cao on purpose, and asked me to make a fuss about pay. I don't understand the rest."

Qi Yong shook Liu Lin's arm with his hand, and the little girl put on a show, and kept Liu Lin away in disgust.

"Let go of me, I tell you! Don't beat me!"

Liu Lin slapped off Qi Yong's arm, straightened his sleeves.

"Okay, I'll let you go, tell me quickly."

Qi Yong hurriedly moved away from Liu Lin and said flatteringly.

"Do you know why His Highness asked all the officials not to meet Chen Daomin?

Why did you let your subordinates Sun Dayong, Lao Chen and others give Chen Daomin a blow?

Why did he make those servants who were fired by him not give him face, and still mention His Highness King An everywhere? "

Liu Lin asked back.

"Isn't it because His Highness wants to fight for Lao Cao's injustice? If you get angry, then Chen Daomin."

Qi Yong said with a naive face.

"How can your highness be such a superficial person! His highness has deep meaning in his actions.

This move was to make Chen Daomin angry and prejudiced against His Highness's decree.

As a result, he lost his reason because of prejudice, and did things that overturned His Highness's decree indiscriminately. "

Liu Lin opened the mouth and said.

Li Su sat at the top and listened to Liu Lin analyze his arrangement, thinking in his heart: I am such a superficial person.

"Oh, it turns out that Chen Daomin's overthrow of His Highness's decree was induced by His Highness."

Qi Yong suddenly said.

"That's right, Your Highness made Brother Cao behave like fire and water with you, guess why?"

"I know this, this is to make Chen Daomin feel that Lao Cao has a rebellious bone in his head, and someone who can be an enemy of an upright and upright person like me, Qi Yong, can definitely be his dog and make him a confidant."

Qi Yong straightened his chest and said proudly, not forgetting to cast a contemptuous glance at Cao Youde who was drinking tea beside him.

"You reckless man, you are the one with the back bone, you are the dog for Chen Daomin, you cut off your tongue if you can't speak!"

Cao Youde was furious, pointing at Qi Yong and cursing.

"Hey, old Liu, you continue to talk."

Qi Yong and Cao Youde are used to fighting and fighting, and everyone in the hall has long been used to it.

"In the past few years, my Lingnan's financial expenditure has been mixed with the treasury and the internal treasury of Prince An's Mansion.

In many cases, it is even relying on the profits from the sales of mirrors, glass, and spirits from the internal treasury of Prince An's Mansion to support the implementation of various government orders in Lingnan Mansion.

Especially this year's Lingnan Mansion's overall old city renovation, it is difficult to support such a large project by relying on the taxes collected by the government.

It has always been relying on the internal treasury of Prince An's Mansion to continue to pay out to support this project.

But when he learned that Chen Daomin was coming to Lingnan to serve as the magistrate, His Highness immediately stopped appropriating funds from the internal treasury for the project, and instead paid all the money from the treasury.

When Chen Daomin stopped His Highness's commercial tax and extended the large commercial tax, which eventually led to a sharp drop in fiscal revenue, the treasury was empty.
